NEW YORK, Nov. 24. (Special.)
A fair ike called by 66 singing, but

Overtime Pay Granted to Some of
Workers After 8 Hours and
to Others After 10.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. A -new
wage and working agreement was
signed late today between the rail
road administration and officials of
the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employes and Railway Shop La
borers. '
While demands of the union were
not fully met, the eight-hour basic
day was established for track labor
ers and others of that classification,
and time and a half pay after
eight hours was provided. Most of
the other employes included under
the agreement will receive time and
a half overtime pay after 10 hours
Signing of the new contract by
Director-General Hines ended nego

since February. Approximately 400,
000 men are affected, railroad ad
min iat rat ion officials estimated. The
contract also provides that it shall
be applicable during the period of
federal control unless notice of 30
days is given of iCs cancellation.
"Specifically," an announcement by
Mr. Mines says, "the new contract
provides overtime for regular section

not to become a perpetual joke.
In full view of the immigration j
committee of the house, which is in
vestigating conditions in the depart
ment of labor, the "reds" announced
at 11 o'clock today that they would
have, no more trials until their "de
mands" were granted. And after a
day of proceedings which were char-at-terized
by Congressman Sicgel a:s a
"farce," the "reds" still were main
taining their point.
In an investigation of the "strike"
which was immediately begun by the
committee, whose members, hailing
from the west, expressed frank aston
ishment that such things were pos
sible, several reasons were developed
why the problem that confronts the
present administrative officials at the
island is difficult.
In the first place, it appeared the
three leaders of the strikers and nine
others were men who had been ori
inally arrested by the department of
labor at periods ranging from three
months to two years ago. their trials
had and the papers " forwarded ' 'to

apparently been either forgotten or

He was about to leave the island for

At the committee's request he told
his clients the law required them to

of the 66 segregated radicals then
reiterated their refusal to attend the

Mr. Uhl Informed Schorr that the

announced that the deportation hear

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 2V tSpe
cial.) James R. Crawford. Arctic
hunter and trapper and member of
the second Stefansson expedition, is
..f r.t v frnxpn north for the first
time in 15 years and expresses sur
prise that the general public credits
the existence of a lost tribe of .Scan
dinavians in the Arctic known gen
erally as Stefansson's blonde Eskimos.
The so-called blonde tsKimos un
covered by Stefansson, he says, ana
he declares that Stefansson docs not
disagree with him, are nothing more
than a "throw back" as he terms n,
of the first white explorers that went
into the north. Crawford was witn
Stefansson when he ci.mc across the
blondes" and had an opportunity to
tudy them and discuss them with the
great explorer.
Only Few Are Fund.
Mr. Stefansson himself will tell
you that- mere is lime pi
of these natives being descendants
of Eric the Red or any other of the
ancient Vikings." Mr. Crawford said
tonight. "On Victoria Land there are
probably three tribes or villages of
natives at least in which these quaint
Eskimos are to be found. There are
less than a dozen so far as we were l
able to learn in the whole land.
They had gray eyes, light eyebrows,
reddish brown hair, and their skin
was slightly lighter than , thtir
brethren, but the skin color would
not be noticed at first. It is so like
the color of the other natives.
"The natives made it known that
they had never seen white men be
fore and it is very probable that
they did not, as Mr. Stefansson's party
was undoubtedly the first in that
nart of the world in their time. Their
r.sinm. however, did see white
men. probably men looking for new
land, who did not live to get back to
civilization. Such expeditions are not
infrequent in the history of the north.
The recurrence of the features of the
whites in different villages is rare.
"There was one little girl who pos
sessed the most pronounced marking
of all. She was the daughter of two
old natives who were as dusky as any
of the northern natives, whose hair

ROSEBURG. Or.. Nov. 24. (Special.)
The supply of Thanksgiving turkeys
from this county was considerably
under the number usually disposed of
by growers here for the holiday sea
son, as the aggregate results demon
strate.
A careful survey of the market in
dicates that something less than 5000
birds were marketed by producers at
this point last week, against a total
number of approximately 10,000 sold
during the same period last year. The
total weight of the turkeys was in the
neighborhood of 50.000 pounds, as
buyers . state that ten pounds each
would be a fair average.
It is believed that as many more
were marketed at Oakland, while
probably 2000 more were sold at other
railway points in the county.
The -birds were pronounced excellent
quality and the prevailing price paid
to producers was 41 ii cents per
pound.
Many farmers are said to be hold

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. There was
no word today from the Mexican gov
ernment in answer to the sharp note
from the state department demand
ing the immediate release of William
O. Jenkins. American consular agent
at Pucbla. All day officials waited
for a note they thought might be
handed to them by thB Mexican em
bassy here, in view of reports Sunday
night that a long dispatch relating
to the Jenkins case had reached the
embassy from Mexico City.
So far as the ft ate department was
able to learn, Jenkins still was
and in the Mexican penitentiary on
charges that he had conspired with
rebel bandits who kidnr.ped him and
'orifd hir.i to ?ay a ransom of ap
proximately $150,000.
Note tliNunsied In Mexico.
The department was in constant
communication today with the Amer
ican embassy in Mexico City and was
advised that the cabinet has discussed
the American note and called Gover
nor Cabrera into conference. Gover
nor Cabrera is a brother of Luis Ca
brera, secretary of the treasury Ii
Carranza's cabinet, and known to be
one of the most bitter anti-Ameri
cans.
President Carransia. aai found the
situation to be so acute that he has
returned to Mexico City from Qucre
taro to take part in the consideration
of the Jenkins case, reports today
said.
Mexican officials have caused re
ports to be circulated that the gov
ernment waB amply ijuatif ied in hold
ing Jenkins. No report has been
made to this government or its rep
resentatives, however, as to the na
ture of the evidence on which the '
American consular agent was locked
up a second time.
Reply Not Vet Received.
"The department has not yet re
ceived the answer of the Mexican
government to the American note
calling for the immediate release of
William O. Jenkins, the American con
sular agent at Puebla, Mexico, who
was re-arrested and put into the pen
itentiary shortly after his release by
kidnapers near Puebla. It is un
derstood that the Mexican cabinet
had the note under consideration Fri
day and that Governor Cabrera of
Puebla was called in from Puebla for
report."
LAREDO. Texas, Nov. 24. While the
ican dead in France must be left
the graves they now occupy until the
French are ready to exhume their
own dead, which it is hoped will be
before January 1, 1922. Tho foreign
office has promised to consider the
latest request of the American goy
ernment for the return of its fallen;
soldiers, but ter the following offi
cial announcement was made:
"It has been definitely decided that
the allies who fell together for the
same cause should remain together in
death until circumstances permit of
the returning of the bodies to the
families for whom they sacrificed
themselves."
The proposed law forbidding the ex
humation of soldier dead for three
years did not pass at the last session
of the chamber of deputies, but the
foreign office expects that it will be
adopted soon. This bill specifies
delay ' in exhumation of three years
from the promulgation of the law, but
it is expected that this period will be
shortened. At the foreign office it is
said to be probahle that the exhuma
tion will commence considerably be
fore January, 1922.
The French government is anxious
to hasten matters, as French families
are also pressing, but there are thou
sands of unidentified dead and trans
portation facilities are utterly inade
quate to move the 1. 500,000 bodies in
local cemeteries.
The British and Belgian govern
ments also are urging for the return
of their dead, but France considers it
only fair to treat all countries alike.

The new elements which have- en

revolutionary sentiments and to favor
an extreme policy which in their
opinion will inevitably lead to the ad

This section now is undoubtedly the
